review:
'The Promised Neverland, Vol. 1' by Kaiu Shirai with art by Posuka Demizu is a manga about a group of children living in what seems to be an idyllic setting.
Emma and her fellow orphans live in Grace Field House which is run by a woman they call Mom. They are well fed, and tested. They can play in the forest, but they are forbidden from going near the gate. One night, Emma and her friends go near the gate and find out the horrible truth about their existence. Now they have to find a way to escape.
I really liked the set up and everything up to the kids finding things out. After that, the pacing just kind of got stuck for me. The planning to escape was endless and they hadn't even left by the end. The art is quite good and I liked the style.
I received a review copy of this manga from VIZ Media and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this manga.
